Well, I liked it! I've always been fond of time paradoxes, and this one worked very well, I thought. Not quite so sure about Capaldi's tendency to directly address the audience, though (unless he was meant to be talking to an off-screen Clara).

I enjoyed this one a lot. It was fun, interesting and exciting. I actually like him "lecturing" like that, I can see his Doctor doing that just as a way to work about what he's thinking.

I think Whithouse just wanted to bring back one of his own creations. Sadly, I don't think the Tivolians will ever achieve the status of the Daleks. "Opress...us!" isn't a particularly terrifying war cry.

If I encountered a humanoid mole asking me to oppress him with a variety of devices, I'd be pretty flaming terrified

I wonder if Mr Whithouse was inspired by the house elves in Harry Potter?
